Question for Evil and Eden Club Experts
I'm about to travel to Thailand for the first time, on business unfortunately, but wanted to at least get in one visit to the famed Eden Club. I've seen lots of what seems to be good advice on when to arrive for a 90 minute session to get a better selection, but not much on the selection available for LT. Any advice from Evil or anyone else that knows the Club? If girls can be reserved earlier by non-members willing to pay more, let me know. Money isn't really an issue, but quality of service is. Any advice, any suggestions of alternatives, etc. , all appreciated, but I will only be out of meetings for one day and one night, and flying out late morning the day after that.
Thanks all.

Visa Cards - DO NOT CONVERT AT POS !!
Amazingly there still seems to be a lot of people who are not aware that under no circumstance should you allow your bill to be converted into your home currency when you pay for it (Point Of Sale. POS).
You should be aware that Thailand has "onshore" and "offshore" exchange rates, the onshore rate is much higher than the offshore rate. For example the "onshore" rate in Thailand is around 68 Baht for pounds sterling. The "offshore" rate is around 63 Baht.
If you pay for goods or services on a credit card, and are charged in local currency (eg Baht). You will get billed by your credit card issuer using the "onshore" rate, which is higher which saves you money, its the same rate you are changing your cash for.
If you let them charge you in your home currency, the machine will convert the Baht at the "offshore" rate (the rate of conversion you'll find in small print on the receipt, and you'll see its very low).
This is a con. And its a nice little earner for the banks whose machines are utilised to "Convert to home currency".
If you are asked if you want to pay in your home currency, say "NO".
If you are not asked, then check your receipt and see if the machine has automatically charged you in local currency. Eg you have Baht and then it shows a charge in your home currency. If this is the case please tell the service person to cancel the charge, and charge again in local currency only.
I have known this for some time, but some people still are unaware of this issue in Thailand.
Please be aware!
Buy the phone in Thailand
[QUOTE=Almotu]Thank you ALL for chiming in on my question. I successfully unlocked my SAMSUNG T629 phone, got a new SIM card (and phone number) and 100 baht extra credits at MBK for the grand total of 700 baht. So I did save about $7.[/QUOTE]A little late to chime in, but why not just buy a cool quad band phone in Thailand? You can then swap sim cards for whatever country you are in with no problem. That's what I do and it works just fine here in the USA with T-Mobile (no unlocking required).
OK, so the phone costs more in Thailand than in USA, but you can use it ANYWHERE!!! Just buy the phone sim card for the country you are in (which also gives you a local, in-country phone number, making it cheaper to call the local ladies with) and save it for future trips. I find SD card storage boxes are useful to keep track of my phone sim cards.
